Lets keep focused on the facts:

-) United Technologies has been selling to China for over 100 years. They have 20,000 employees there.
-) China spent/ invested $17 billion in Brazil last year versus $300 million in 2009.
-) Nike has 5,000 stores in China. Profit margins in China are 37% vs. 23% in North America.
-) Everyday FedEx delivers 7 million packages to 220 countries. They fly in 670 planes, 70,000 trucks...over 2.5 million miles....everyday!
-) Youth in Egypt have a stunning 28% unemployment..similar to other ME countries. There are far too many "kids" who through Facebook and Google want to have a better life.
-) The S&P 500 is essentially unchanged now for ten years.
-) The USA has 4.5% of the global population and accounts for 24% of the worlds business (GDP).
-) China has 20% of the world population and accounts for 9.3% of the worlds business (GDP).

You don't "invest" in bonds. When you give somebody your money in exchange for a bond......ALL YOU ARE HOPING FOR IS TO BE PAID BACK YOUR MONEY.

Almost everyone we speak to, read about and listen too remains bearish and not in stocks.

Did you know that a recipient of the Medal Of Honor (our nations highest medal), will always be saluted when he enters an area. If he were to visit the Joint Chiefs of Staff, when he enters they would rise and salute him.

The stock market is not expensive. Bonds are. Gold is not owned. Oil is cheap.

Inflation is raging. and the Fed is WAY BEHIND THE CURVE.
